I was the responsible party for the Religion and Spirituality Section. Go figure. <br /><br />I think living with intention, or just the intention of living with intention is a<br />great practice for anyone of any tradition, religion, or spiritual heritage because it is a challenge: To apply our talk to our own walk. <br /><br />I also think that there is a greater spiritual movement found in doing spirit rather than contemplating it. Kind of like an unmarried marriage counselor, or a child psychologist with no children. (There may be a better comparable there but my Dirty Chai Latte has not kicked in yet). <br /><br />There is also something grand about simplicity. It feels like people want to have these big enormous "spiritual awakenings" where bells ring and the voice of a Deity booms out, *insert pop illumination*, and then the world is made right. Lately in my own meditations and journey I'm in the listening space that smaller is bigger. Quieter is louder. Doing with what I have here and now is the path to follow. This expands the world, my relationships, and increases my intimacy and connection to the world I live in. <br /><br />Am I an expert at it? Well, no, I'm human at it. That's natural, I'm okay with imperfection. Keep blogging. Massage out the message, get focused and expand!Lifencompass Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769319848180866435noreply@blogger.com
